#The direction of genes mean up-regulation or down-regulation in the high-risk patient group compared with the low-risk patient group.

*The references reported the roles of genes related with cancer progression. The correlation of CCND3, RBL2, CDC20 and CDC25A with lung cancer have been described in the main text. The up-regulation of ESPL1 [11],MCM2[14], MCM7were significantly associated with poor prognosis for patients with non-small cell lung cancer [13]. Biological experiment showed that down-regulation of MCM4 reduced proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cells [12].
